Honestly, it shines like crazy, however there are swirl and sanding marks that I may or may not address. You can only see it when you are a foot or 2 away. I only buffed the vertical surfaces, rub rail and down. It doesn't help that it is black!

I have about 9hrs into buffing, I don't want to do it anymore. This was my very first attempt at rotary buffing.

My friend was over with his PC 7424 and some fine cut glaze and it looked even better. Here is a before and after (we only tested a small section):

Already placed an order from them. I did receive the catalog. Thanks for the info.

Thermostat

The thermostat housing was leaking, so I took it all apart and found no gasket. Also, the temp gauge hovered around 130 during water test. I took the thermostat out and dunked it in hot water. I noticed that is started to open/close at the 120° mark. I ordered a new 142° and gasket. Same hot water test with new t-stat shows open/close as advertised. So hopefully the temp will go to normal now.

Temp gauge still reads 120/130. I will test the sender and gauge from the info I found here:
